CGE SERVICES CORPORATION ANNOUNCES SHOW DATES AND NEW LOCATION FOR CLASSIC
GAMING EXPO 2005

Eighth Annual Classic Gaming Expo Moves to San Francisco

VALLEY STREAM, NEW YORK – March 30, 2005 – The 2005 Classic Gaming Expo will be
held Aug. 20 and 21 at the Hyatt Regency Hotel at the San Francisco Airport in
Burlingame, Calif., its organizers announced today. Now in its eighth year,
Classic Gaming Expo is the world’s largest event dedicated to the preservation
and celebration of video game history. Classic Gaming Expo organizers chose the
location because of its vast show space and the proximity to San Francisco
tourism opportunities for visitors.

“Last year, we were excited to move to the area where the video game industry
was born,” said Joe Santulli, co-organizer of Classic Gaming Expo. “This year,
we’re tweaking the location to bring back the signature intimate atmosphere of
the show, which was lost in the cavernous San Jose Convention Center. Classic
Gaming Expo is meant to be a gathering of people who love video games. We want
to ensure that everyone feels at home at the show, and the Hyatt’s warm
environment is perfect for this.”

The Hyatt Regency at the San Francisco Airport is the largest convention hotel
in northern California, one of the few places able to accommodate the estimated
1,700 people who attended last year’s expo. The Hyatt is located two miles from
the San Francisco Airport and the Bay Area Rapid Transit system, and offers
complimentary shuttles to both. The 20-minute trip to downtown San Francisco
should also appeal to attendees making Classic Gaming Expo part of their family
vacations.

In 2004, people from all over the world attended Classic Gaming Expo to see the
latest offerings from exhibitors, visit the world’s largest and most
comprehensive video game museum, play classic and modern games and meet the
luminaries of video gaming’s past and present. Notable personalities such as
Steve Wozniak, Nolan Bushnell, Ralph Baer, Al Alcorn, Jay Smith, David Crane and
other celebrities have attended past shows and spoken to Classic Gaming Expo
attendees.

Classic Gaming Expo is open to anyone with an interest in video games – both
classic and modern. Gamers of all ages are welcome. Information about
ticketing, attendance and past events is available at http://www.cgexpo.com.
